Sasuke 26 - Spoilerific Review - Part 8

Sasuke spoilerific review ;) Warning.. incoming blog of Sasuke 26.. if you don’t want to know.. you have been warned :D Thanks to everyone for being so patient. Got sick with cluster headaches again this year.. not during Sasuke 26 but just right after.. so this blog is late .. Anyway.. For a preview of this event.. Please see SASUKE 26 NAVI 1 hour review of Sasuke 26 with fluff pieces of all the major players in the upcoming Sasuke and even a couple of runs that were cut from the official broadcast!. Oh.. and as Ube says: If you are from the G4 Forums, DON'T POST THIS THERE. They expect everyone to stick their head in the sand and pretend it doesn't exist.. P.S. I will NOT be covering ANW2 on this blog. Thanks!

.. and running out of time he shoves his body under the massive gap...

And he MAKES IT! Wow.. talk about a dream run for Paul! This is the same guy that drove from Colorado to Los Angeles hoping for a wildcard spot.. ran ANW prelims in jeans because he forgot to pack his shorts.. and here he is.. qualified for the 3rd stage in Sasuke!!

ANW guys in anticipation as the timer runs down..

and a YEAAAAAAAAAH from ANW guys

They are utterly enjoying this tournament! The Japanese guys?.. not so much.. LOL

Oh who am I kidding.. TBS knows everyone in the USA saw the ANW episodes with them doing Sasuke.. no? That's right.. only 0.3% even SAW ANW3 on the worst rated network in the entire country.. okay.. I'll play :p

Oh .. this looks familiar.. That's Naoki (in the back) pwning his older and reaaaaally annoying, cocky, arrogant, .. richard of a brother Yukio in a 50 meter backflip competition way back in 1995

Naoki himself is an accomplished gymnast

Familycam™ I see they managed to corral the older brother (on the left)

But first.. we need to pay bills.. here are our sponsors

Voted Number #9 in the "scientific" Top 10 invented ZOMG they will totally Kanzenseiha list that random people picked from pictures they recognized on a board of pictures.. is Naoki Iketani 池谷直樹 - Muscle Musical マッスルミュージカル

Japan's last man standing.. America has 4 and Taiwan has 1. DO IT FOR JAPAN!!!!

Also coming back from the Final he was one of 5 that made it to the renewed 3rd Stage in Sasuke 25

And TBS reminding us the fate of the Japanese Stars of Sasuke. Nagano's pwnage by Jumping Spider

Yuuji getting swallowed up by Half Pipe Attack

and Kouji who just slipped off the Metal Spin.. all to the glorious soundtrack that I HAVE NO IDEA WTF IT IS BUT WANT! ehem..

There are the eyes of the last Japanese hope.. DO IT FOR THE CHILDREN!

Wife Sachiko cheering on her hubby

Son Takaya is cheering Daddy too

And Lilia is cute as a button!

And voted #5 in the "scientific" Top 10 invented ZOMG they will totally Kanzenseiha list that random people picked from pictures they recognized on a board of pictures... Yoshiyuki Okuyama 奥山義行

And it seems like it's a family affair as they crack out the kids to watch the last Japanese hope take on Stage TWO!

And the rest of the former finalists are watching!

That's right.. no pressure or anything.. LOL

Okuyama also has crud on his hands and spends time trying to wipe it off..

Could be sweat from all that pressure?

K onwards to the Unstable bridge with no issues

Hmm at the end he takes his time trying to find the angle to get off this stupid thing

Wow he ate some serious time on this part!

you can hear everyone getting anxious as he gets on the Balance tank with very little time left

Right now you can almost FEEL the tension as he's got almost no time left for 2 obstacles..

Klaxon blaring as he clears the Metal Spin

HAULING through the walls as fast as he can.. omg will he make it???

.. but first.. we need a beer...

Desperation as we know he can raise that wall.. he instead throws himself under the gap too!

OMG!!!!!! he's got NO TIME LEFT!!!!

WWWWWWWWOOOOOOOOOWWW. .he pulled a Shingo ending!!!! Through the gate on his butt and everything! LOL

Seems Naoki got a pulse after all!

and JAPAN IS ON THE BOARD.. JAPAN IS ON THE BOARD.. LOL

Finalists are happy!

Nagano is happy the old guy made it! LOL Let's here it for the arafo men!

.. had that wall been all the way down.. we would have witnessed another Shingo incident.. no wait.. another one.. the one where he got his foot stuck on the wall.. no not that one.. the one where he LOST after getting his foot under the wall.. LOL Had to keep them straight.. there are so many..

best stretch of all time.. LOL

LOL his momentum of throwing his body forward propelled him sideways..

and up and over as he at least didn't have to crash the gate.. it was already opened for him

LOL the last few times he's barely made it past the 2nd stage in terms of time. Geeeez.. you can't get any closer than that..

Family watching the timer go down..

and rejoice when they know he cleared

Mom is having hysterics.. as someone grabs her hand and comforts her

Oh.. that could be Nagano or Yuuji.. not sure.. Nagano would have the balls to do that.. LOL
